Abstract
Garlic is one of the horticultural products that is further developed in Indonesia, this is done as one of our efforts to increase the needs of meeting the needs of products that always rely on imports. The productivity of our garlic is still low, below 20 tons/ha. To improve this efficiency, technology development is needed, one of which is by using a microbial consortium. The utilization of the microbial consortium in garlic cultivation is still limited. This study examines the best benefits of the microbial consortium for growth (height, number of leaves) and yield quality (tuber diameter and yield) as well as its effect on the development of wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum Schelecht. The research was conducted at the Vegetable Crops Research Institute (Balitsa) from August to November 2018 using a Randomized Block Design consisting of 6 preparations and 4 replications. The approved microbial treatments were P0 (Control), P1 (12.5 g/plant), P2 (25 g/p lant), P3 (50 g/plant), P4 (100 g/plant), and P5 (150) g/plant). The results showed that the use of 150 gr microbial consortium showed the highest value for high plant parameters, while for the number of leaves, yield weight, tuber diameter did not show differences between workmanship. The influence of the use of a microbial consortium can control fusarium disease at 40 days after planting (HST) of 14.7-41.17 percent compared with control management.
Highlights
Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is a horticultural plant that is widely consumed in the world
This study aims to determine the effect of the best dose of the microbial consortium for growth and quality of the crop and its effect on the development of wilting caused by Fusarium oxysporum Schelecht
The results of this study indicate an increase in tuber diameter in the microbial consortium treatment by 12% and an increase in the number of cloves by 4.76
Summary
Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is a horticultural plant that is widely consumed in the world. Raising awareness to reduce the importance of garlic makes garlic development in Indonesia encouraged. The results showed that garlic was only 6.43 tons /ha. This is still far compared to the increase in garlic in China which reached 23.5 t/ha. The low productivity of garlic in Indonesia is a challenge for all parties to develop garlic cultivation technology to improve the quality of garlic. One of the technologies developed to improve crop yields by improving plant structure and fertility is to utilize a microbial consortium. This study aims to determine the effect of the best dose of the microbial consortium for growth (height, number of leaves) and quality of the crop (tuber diameter and yield) and its effect on the development of wilting caused by Fusarium oxysporum Schelecht
